EFFECTS OF PUNCH DRINKING. One particular dark, drizzly, damp, dull nnd disagreeable day, in the latter part of No vember, A. D., 184‘2, a tall, gaunt, queer look ing customer, dressed in blue coat with met al buttons, a brimstone-colored vest, and plaid pantaloons, with calf-skin terminations, sat solemnly and alone, in a little room, situated in a certain little tavern in street, city of Philadelphia. Before him was a little j round table, on whose marble top was not a little pitcher of smoking punch, “screeching hot,” and wine glass. The solitary individ- | ual was “York,” —nothing else, dear child, and that was his second pitcher full—nigh his second pitcher empty. One minute after, and you couldn’t squeeze a drop out of either pitcher or glass by a forty-two pound hydrau lic press. York rang the belL The waiter poked his head in at the door: “Ring, sa f” “Os course I did. fs It clearing off? “No, sa—damp, sa— fog so thick, sa, you could ladle it up with a spoon, sa. Have any thing, sa ?” “More punch, and strong !” “Yes, sa—immediately, sa.” The waiter withdrew, and in a few seconds the third pitcher stood before our hero, who attacked it zealously. York had just drain ed the last glass from the pitcher, and was beginning to feel glorious, when on raising his eyes, he saw his own figure in a large pier glass directly opposite. He rubbed his eves, winked, stared, coughed and rubbed his eyes again. “By Jove,” said he, “there’s some fellow sitting right before me. This is a private room, sir, for my sole accommodation.” He waited a moment expecting an answer, but the reflection only stared at him and held its peace. “I was saying, sir, that this is my private room—mine, sir,” cried “\ork, fetching his voice an octave higher than be fore. No answer made, and he rang the bell furiously. The waiter made his appearance Again. “Ring, sa?” “Yes, I did ring. Didn’t I ask for a pri vate room ?” “Yes, sa, this is a private room.” “It is! why there’s a fellow sitting right before me now, on the other side of the ta ble—rot his impudence.” “•Table, sa—fellow, sa.” “Yes, tliere is—well—never mind. Bring me some more punch and two glasses.” “Yes, sa—immediately, sa.” In a very short time the fourth pitcher, with the two glasses, made its appearance. Y ork filled one of the glasses and shoved it over the table. “Will you drink, sir ?” said he, addressing the figure in a glass. “Oh you won t drink, old fellow,” continued he. “Y our liquor is getting cold, and you look as if you we e fond of the thing.” No answer being returned, York finished the pitcher and rang the bell again. In pop ped the waiter. “Ring, sa'?” “To be sure I did. Didn’t you hear the b-b-bell ?” “I did.” “Didn’t I order a p-p-privatc room, eh 1” “Yes, sa— this is a private room, sa.” “A pretty private room this is, with a f-f-f ----fellow sitting opposite there, who won’t take a glass of punch when it is offered him—and a red nose at that! Oh, never mind. 11l try him again.” Presently pitcher No. Y r ., with tumblers to match, was borne in with due state. “B-b-better t-trv some, old chap,” said York, coaxingly, to his double. The reflex merely looked good natured, but said noth ing. “Well, continued York, “if that isn’t the m-most infamous—well, never mind, 111 drink the punch,” and so he did every drop ol it. About five minutes suHieed to end the pitcher. Y ork rang the bell superfuriously. The waiter came. “Ring, sa ?” “Why, certain! why shouldn’t I! Where’s die m-m-man who k-k-keeps this house ?” “Boss, ea—l’ll send ’im in.” Shortly after, mine host, a quiet looking little man, with a mottled calico-patterned face and a shining bald bead, made his ap pearance. “W-w-wliat’s to pay?” demanded York, rising, and assuming an air of dignity. “Five punches—five levies, sir.” “There’s the money, sir,” said Y'ork, fork ing over the coin. “And now I want to know why, when I call for a p-p-p-private room, you should put me here with somebo dy else ?” “There’s nobody here but you and I.” “Nobody! do you s-s-suppose I can’t see ? Do you th-th-think I’m drunk ? There—look there—two of them, by jingo!” “Well, sir, I must confess I don’t see any but two.” “Y ou can’t eh ?” and Y ork dragged the landlord to the table. “Look there,” contin ued he, pointing to the glass. “Th-th-there’s the rascals now. One of ’cm’s enough like you to be your brother, and the other’s the and dest, Lord-forsaken, meanest looking white man I ever saw!’’ A Strange Affair. Uzza Robbins, a murderer, convicted of poisoning,was executed at Smetliport, McKe an county, Pennsylvania, on the 30th ult.— On the morning after the hanging the grave of Mr. Robbins appeared to have been distur bed, and it was finally thought best to exam ine. On digging down to the coffin, it was found that the lid had been bored some ten or twelve inches from the head and split off. The end of the coffin was empty except some little dirt that had fell in; the general impres sion at first was, that the body had been tak en out, but there was a doubt of the possibility of the removing the body through the aper ture made in the coffin, and upon removing the dirt which had fell in, it was found that the head had been severed from the body and carried off. The deep disgust and indigna tion felt by those present, led them to con clude to make some investigations to discov er the “grave fiend.” There had recently been a building removed a little out of town, which was undergoing some repairs, and which being back from the road, and frequen ted by a person upon whome some suspicion rested, particularly attracted the attention of those present. Consequently, our citizens, to the number of some twenty or thirty, repaired to the building. The person expected was in the building at work at his bench. The crowd passed up a board into the door of the building, quiet and silent. As they began to file into the room, the suspected person, without speaking, turned round and sat down on his work bench; still there was not a word spoken, either by him or the crowd, but there was a deep emotion visible in his countenance. Finally, after the crowd had all got into the building, a search was proposed, but no mention made for what they were searching, and they commenced; still the suspected per son sat perfectly dumb and almost motionless. After a few moments, two or three persons went to a pile of shavings in the corner of the room, partly under the end of the work bench, and pulled out from under the shavings a glass box, saying, “here it is,” and sat the box out into the middle of the room, and up on brushing off the shavings the head was found in the box. The head was decently re-interred, but when the person suspected, Arba P. Barras, j was sought after, it was found he had fled be fore the process for his arrest could lie made out. — McKean Orbit. A Kiss. “Ah, Sally, give me a kiss and lie done with it.” “I won’t, so there now.” “I’ll take it, whether or no.” “Do it, if you dare.” So nt it we went, rough and tumble. An awful destruction of starch now commenced. The bow of my cravat was squat up in half a shake. At the next bout smash went shirt collar, and at the same time some of the head fastenings gave way, and down came Sally’s hair like a flood in a mill-dam broke loose, carrying away half a dozen combs. One dig of Sally’s elbow, and my blooming ruffles wilted down to a dish cloth. But she had no time to boast. Soon her neck tack ling began to shiver, parted at the throat, and whorali came a string of white beads scam pering and running races every way you could think of about the floor. By hokev, if Sally Jones isn’t the grit there’s no snakes. She fought fair, however, I must admit, and neither tried to bite nor scratch; and when she could tight no longer for want of breath, she yielded handsomely. Her arms fell clown by her side—her hair back over the chair, her eves closed, and there lay a little plump mouth all in the air. Lord ! did you ever see a hawk pounce on a robbin ? or humble bee upon a clover top? I say nothing. “How solemn these funeral obstacles is,’’ said Mrs. Partington, as she looked down from an upper chamber window on the day of the procession. She took off her specs to wipe the moisture from their dices, tapped her box mournfully to the measured time of the distant drum, and looked anxiously down the street to catch the first glimpse of the fu neral train. “Here it comes at last,” quoth she, “with the soldiers all playing with muz zled drums and their flags, flying at half mast. Is that the catastrophe ?” whispered she of a gentleman near her. “That is the catafal que, madam,” replied ho. “Well, well,” said she, “no matter; 1 kno wed there was a cat about it, and I didn’t know hut it might he cataplasm, it will he a catastrophe, I guess, arter all. Catafalque! some furren name, I guess. Will you tell me, sir, when the artillery flies over,” continued she; “I mean the flying artillery, that came away from Mexico to ’tend the funeral obstacles.” “Gracious heaven, madam,” cried he, impa tiently, “they don’t fly; they are artillery men on horseback, only!” “Dear me,” said she, “I thought they were one of the wings of the army, and flew when they marched. How apt we are to get mistaken.” She pen sively gazed upon the pageant that slowly passed before her. “What a pity it is,” said she, “that we don’t value people till arter they are dead. I dare say more paregorics will he poured on him now, than would have been if he had have lived as long as I have.” She here paused, a silence pervaded the cham ber, the procession bad passed, the company had departed, and, two hours After, the old lady was found still sitting by the open win dow, fast asleep.

The last Sab bath of her visit, she took her son, a child four years old, to church with her, for the first time. As soon as tho organ commenc ed its strains, the little fellow started up with delight; he looked back to the gallery, he stretched his neck, he got on tho cushions and raised himself to his very tallest; his mother remonstrated him, and told him to sit down. But he refused and continued gazing aloft with straining eyes. “Sit down,” said his mother. “I wont,” he cried, so as to be heard all around, “/ want to see the monkey!” “Don’t you call this all-fired hot weather?” said a fresh caught Yankee yesterday to an old residenter. “Hot? oh no! this is noth ing. We use the short thermometer, now.

I A Persecuted Max.— The Boston Path finder learns that Mr. Smith whose unfortu nate habit of snoring had expelled him from every hotel in the country, and who finally hired an old schooner intending to sleep in Boston harbor, had met with a difficulty— the patients of Deer Island having remonstra ted against his being there on account of his keeping them awake of nights. A Raftsman who had drank a little too freely, fell from the raft and was drowning, when his brother plunged in to his relief, seiz ing him by the hair; but the current was strong and the brother, nearly exhausted, was about relinquishing his hold, when des pairing, the brother raised in the water, and said, “hang on, Sam!—hang on ; I'll treat, I swear I will.” His words were stimulating, and the brother at length saved him. YVhy are two “t’s” like hops? Ans. —Because they make beer better. Courting. An old paper says:—“This is a subject which is always important, is becoming pe culiarly so, and we design to call the atten tion of young people to it occasionally, in hope of arresting an alarming and destruc tive evil. Young ladies are bound to tall in love as soon as possible, and bound to get a partner for life as soon as the necessary pre liminaries are made—such as getting a lover, fascinating him thoroughly, being courted, having the question popped, getting the wed ding garments in array, and having friends to see them prettily married. The young man is bound to be gallant and polite, and to ad mire, without any stint, all the pretty girls known and unknown, to doff the beaver, offer his arm, invite to ride, or a pleasant saunter— in short, to all and sundries; indeed, to show his devotion and gallantry towards the sox, until some enchantress throws her spell around him, and he sinks, subdued into a common placo, indifferent, careless Benedict. Now out of these things grow difficulties. A young man admires a pretty girl, and must manifest it; he cannot help doing so for the life of him. The young lady has a tender heart, reaching out like tho vino tendrils for something to cling to; she sees the admira tion, is flattered, begins soon to love, expects some avowal, and perhaps gets so far as to decide she will choose a white satin under a thin gauze, at the very moment that the gal lant she loves is popping the question (good! ha!!) to another damsel ten miles off Now | the difficulty is, in not precisely understand | ing the difference between polite attention j and the tender manifestations of sighing love. ; Admiring a beautiful girl, and wishing to make a wife of her, are not always the same; and, therefore, it is necessary that a girl I should lie on the alert to discover to which class the attention paid her by a handsome and gay young gentleman belong. First, then—if a young fellow greet you in a loud, free, hearty voice—if ho knows precisely where he puts his hat, or his hands—if he stares you straight in the eye with his own wide open—if he tells you who made his coat —if ho squeezes your hand—if he eats heartily in your presence—if ho talks very kindly to your mother—if he sneezes when you are sighing, or criticises your curls, or fails to he very foolish in fifty ways in every hour, then don’t fall in love with him for the world; he only admires you, let him do or say what he will. I Can’t Do It. What a volume of human misery is un folded in that short sentence! What mighty efforts of undeveloped genius are chained by this conclusion of despondency, when a har rier chances to interpose the onward progress of the will, and sometimes of mere volition! What unhappiness, what downward marches of the otherwise worthy, towards tho gloomy and solitary abodes of poverty —what ardu ous wrestling with the demon of despair— what social wretchedness—what national evils are all depicted in tho spirit of that ex pression. It is the language only of the self wretched—the determination of tho weak and imbecile. It is the voice of the moral coward, who, standing upon the shore of some desolate island, in the stormy ocean of life, and looking out upon the billows strewn with the wrecks of early grandeur and human happiness, is so blinded by fear that he can not see the gleam of hope that flickers amid the surrounding gloom. It is the articulated feeling of the traveler of the desert, who, having gained an eminence, sees nothing hut a barren plain before him, thirst parching his tongue and weariness subduing his strength. Shall he lie down without hope ! Nay, let him press forward, make but one effort, and a green oasis will meet his anxious vision, a cool stream will bubble up from some unseen fountain, and lie will reach bis journey’s end, crowned with the rich rewards of perseverance. How Joe Won tlic Pencil. Joe sports a wife, besides several other creature comforts. Well, he and his wife, Harry , John , and George , and their wives all hoard at the same house. A day or two ago, while they were all nt the tablo luxuriating on detached portions of a boiled turkey, which had been stuffed with oysters, tho conversation turned on christimn names, when Mrs. Harry contended that she could name more distinguished mon who had borne the name of Henry, than any gentleman could of his own name: and con cluded by offering a gold pencil, as a wager against a suitable equivalent, should she win. The trial commenced, Mrs. Harry , star ted off with <f Harry of the West,” adding a dozen others. George now gathered up on George Washington, tho four Georges of England, Lord George, &c. “Now, Mr. John , what have you to say?” said the charming Mr. S. Harry . “O, I can give you a hundred.—The two Adams’, Lord John Russell, John Tyler, John, John, John bring mo some water, John .” “Stop, stop, sir, you can’t win; Mr. Joseph , now your turn comes,” said the juicy little gamester. Now, if ever a bashful man lived it is my friend, Joe. He dared not look up. He had been racking his brain for an answer, hut to no purpose, and in despair, ho made one grand effort, and, raising his head, he replied, “My dear madam, I have lost. I cannot now think of any very distinguished men by the name of Joseph, except the gen tleman we read about in the Scriptures—he who was such a favorite of Mrs. Potiphar, hut I will not offer him, for I think he teas the darndest. fool I ever heard of!” “Here’s the pencil,” said Mrs. Harry , tossing it over to him, as she and the other ladies scud ded out of the door. Remarkable Memory. “Who made you?” inquired a lady teacher, of a lubberly boy, who had lately joined her class. “I do’ know!” said he. “Not know? Y'ou ought to be ashamed of yourself! A boy fourteen years old! Why, there’s a little Dickey Fil ton —lie’s only three—he can tell, I dare say. Come here, Dicky—who made you ?” “Dod!” lisped the infant prodigy. “Tliere!” said the teacher triumphantly, “I knew he’d remem ber!” “Veil, he oughter!” said the stupid; “ ’tain’t but a littlo while ago since he was made!” A little girl meeting a countryman with a load of slaughtered swine, dropped a courte sy. The rustic laughed without returning the civility. “What,” said he, “do you courtesy to dead hogs ?” “No, sir,” replied the little miss, “I courte sied to the lice one.” An Irishman who had blistered his fingers in endeavoring to draw on anew pair of boots, exclaimed —“By Saint Patrick! I be lieve I shall niver git tkim on till I wear them a day or two.” An Irishman, by way of illustrating the horrors of solitary confinement, stated, that out of one hundred persons sentenced to en dure this punishment for life in an American prison, only fifteen survived it. Dr. dcGRAFFENRIED’S CELEBRATED RHEUMATIC LINIMENT.

Ilis note-book contains upwards of three hundred ca ses, in which it has been used within the above named jK*riod,and in nosingle instance has it come to his knowl edge, of its having failed to effect a cure when persereved in. M any of the cares were from four to ten years stand ing ; and what may appear yet more remarkable and ex traordinary, is, that when the patient ha* been once re lieved, the disease is permanently cured, remains so, not a solitary instance having been reported to him of its re turn. . All lie would ask for this remedy is a fair, impar tial and patient trial, for tlia reaulta he entertain* • ap prehension. Up to tha time of this discovery, the underaif um| had well studied the origin,progress, and character of thiadia ease, and i* well assured, had consulted every author on its treatment, who had written or been translated into the English language, and had used all the. remedies of any notoriety then in vogue with tho profession, with however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering hu manity. It has baffled the skill and science of tha most eminent Physicians and Surgeons of our own, and ol every other country. Hut the undersigned flatters himself that his remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all oth ers have failed, and that he shall have been an humble in strument in the hands of God, of relieving the human family of a vast amount of suffering.

I was taken down in January last, with a violent attack of Rheumatism in nearly all my joints so badly, that I could not pull ol'niy shoes without aid ; nor could I ascend or descend steps, or pull off my clothes without assistance. My right arm and hand were nearly useless ; the lingers contracted and swollen; the right knee swollen and stiffened, so that I could not bend it but very little.

Robinson, Esq., Easton, Md.,in a letter to Dr. Jackson, Jan. 9, 1850, said— "My wile and myself havo received tnora henfit from your medicine than any ether we have ever taken for the Dyspepsia anil Liver disease.” “The Tenth Legion,” published at Woodstock, Va., January 10, 1850, said— “A Great Medicine.’ , “We have uniformly refrained from recommending to the public any of the various patent medicines of the day, unless thoroughly convinced of their value.— Among thoso we consider worthy of notice is the Gr,itMay Bitters, invented by l)r. Jlootland, and prepared by J)r. Jackson, in Philadelphia. One in stance ia particular, in which the aupc-rior virtues of thia medicine have been tested, has fallen under our observation. During tbe last summer, a son of Mr. Abraham Crabill, of th is county, was very se riously atllioted with Liver Complaint,and after trying in vain various remedies, he purchased a bottle of the Bitters, and after using it, was eo tnueli relieved of bis distressing malady, that be procured another bot tle, and is restored entirely to health. *’ Read Further a Few Facts. The “Philadelphia Democrat,’’ the leading Ger man journal of Philadelphia. The editor said, No vember 24th : “We again call attention to the removal of th*. German Medicine Store, the principal depot for the sale of Dr. Hoofland’s German Bitters, from 278 Race to 120 Arch street, one door below Sixth.— Owing to the increased demand for this medicine, and for the accommodation of his numeroue patients. Dr. Jackson has been compelled to occupy a larger store. We wish him success in his new quarters ; he is deserving it The Bitters Mixture ie without doubt the greatest medicine extant for diseases of the Liver and Bowels. A stubborn ease of Chronic Diarrhoea lias come under our notice, wherein tbe patient had exhausted th* Materia Medieas of the different schools of medicine with no apparent benefit. He was induced to use these bitters, and a law bottles of them have entirely cured him. Many sueh cases w* could refer to. We hope our readers will recol lect this great restorative, should they be so unfortu nate as to require its use. Dr. Jackson possesses the original unpublished receipt of Dr. Ilooflamd, and he prepares this medicine with care. Those pur chasing should call at his store, or see that his nam* ia written upon the wrapper outside, and blow* is the bottle, as imitations of good articles are common.” Judge M. M. Noah, a gentleman with great sci entific and literary attaisnseate, said in hie “New York Weekly Meeeenger,” January 6, 1850: u Dr. Hoofland's German Bitter*. —Her# ie a pre paration w hich the leading presses in the Union ap pear to be unanimous in recomending, and the rea son is obvious. It is made after a prescription furnished by one of the most celebrated physicians of modern times, tlie late Dr. Christopher Wilhelm ITooffand. Professor to the University of Jena, Private Physician to the Kingof Prussia, and one of the greatest medi cal writers Germany lias ever produced. He was emphatically the enemy of humbug, and therefore a medicine of which he was the inventor and endorser may be perfectly relied on. 110 specially recommend ed it in Liver Complaint,Dyspepsia, Debility, Vertigo, Acidity of the Stomach, Constipation, and all com plaints arising from a disordered condition of the stomach, the liver and the intestines. Nine Phila delphia papers .express their conviction of its excel lence, and several of tltc editors speak of its effects from their own individual experience. Under these circumstances, wc feel warranted not only in calling the attention of our readers to the present proprietor's (Dr. C. M. Jackson's) preparation, but in recom mending the article to all afflicted.” More Evidence. The “Philadelphia Saturday Gazette,” the beet family newspaper published in the United States, the editor says of DR. HOOFLAND’S GERMAN BITTERS. “ It is seldom that wc recommend what are termed Patent Medicines to the confidence and patronage of our readers •, and, therefore, when we recommend Dr. Ilooffand's German Bitters, we wish it to be distinct ly understood that we are not speaking of the nos trums of the day that are noised about for a brief period and then forgotten after they have done their guility race of mischief, but of a medicine long established, universally prized, and which has inet the heaitv ap proval of the Faculty itself.” Evidence upon evidence has been received (like the foregoing) from all sections of the Union, tbw last three years, and the strongest testimony in its favor is, that there is more of it used in the practice of the regular Physicians of Philadelphia than all other nos trums combined, a fact that can easily be established, and fully proving that a scientific preparation will meet with their quiet approval when presented even in this form. That this medicine will cure Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, no one can doubt, after using it as direct- i ed. It acts specifically upon the stomach and liver— ; it is preferable to calomel in all bilious diseases —the j effect is immediate. They can be administered to ; female or i.yfakt with safety and reliable benefit, at any time. Reware of Counterfeits. This medicine has attained that high character which is necessary for all medicines to attain to in duce counterfeiters to put forth a spurious article at the risk of tho lives of those who are innocently de ceived. Look well to the Marks of the Genuine, They have the written signature of C. M. JACNC- 1 SON upon the wrapper, and tho name blown in tho | bottle, without which they are spurious.

Tho Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral worth and professional acquirements, will compare favorably with tin- most distinguished in our country. The medi cal faculty constitutes an anomaly in this or any other country—all of thorn arc able lecturers and tlie best ol teachers. Those who contemplate our geographical position, and tho extent of our population, can have no doubt aa to the eligibility of our situation for an enterprise of the kind. As to health, including all seasons of the year, we deny that any other city has moke. A common error exists in the minds of many students relative to the place of studying medicines; those who intend practicing among the diseases of the West and South should certainly educate themselves at a school whose Faculty are particularly acquainted with those diseases. That the public may be satisfied of the permanency ol this school, we fed it our duty to state, that the Trus tees and Faculty form a unit in action, which augurs well for its future success ; and that the peculiar internal organization which connects them, cannot be interrupted.
